Anyone know of a way to seal the edges?

I used to make wreaths, and yes the edges do fray but it didn't bother me ... sometimes I will cut off a fray if it looks bad. It's so much cheaper than the finished edge burlap. IF you really wanted to seal maybe try the stop fray spray stuff. hope this helps.

No, you cut it to have the shape you want and apply it (take care as the adhesive is really strong). No need to seal anything.

Well the specs do call for water sealing, however, I find teflon tape is a better way to go unless the threads have been cross threaded. Good luck.

I would try that bubble foil insulation. I think its called reflectix or something. It comes in a roll and could be attached with anything like duct tape, velcro, etc. Its R-19 and could be layered to increase insulation properties.

I had a hard time sealing them with a heat sealer. The plastic was too thin to seal without melting most of the time. Only fill the wrappers 2/3 of the way and then tie.

Yes. Just paint the edges and install as you normally would. Not only does it help seal but it eases installation

I have never tried but I might hesitate with the 2 poly thickness of these. They are pretty durable and I know a sealer works, but to shrink to the product, I'm sorry but I don't know. Wish I could be of more help.

I stick in place with a little super glue then i use some braided line that I have left on a old roll and rap real tight on both sides.Then smear super glue on the line to seal

I cut one end to enable a bend. I lined up the two pieces, then cemented it in place, called it a day. If you want a sealant, silicon paste may work.

have you tried a good double stick tape of if you want them to stay on permanently... I'd try an epoxy or other sealants readily available.... good luck...

use a nice piece of 1 X 4 or smaller and stain or paint it and attach it to the bar letting it stick out enough to cover the unfinished edges. This is what I did and looks nice.

A plastic welding epoxy putty would work better if it is a crack in the plastic.You would want to roughen up and then clean the area first before you seal it over.

You need to make sure that slide the outer hinge out correctly!! I had that problem too, until I figured out how to seal it properly!!

There's a piece of metallic tape that covers the sealing bar. It looks like packaging material, so it's very tempting to remove it. It needs to remain in place

Use a "siliconized adhesive sealant" you can get from the hardware store or here on Amazon. That'll do the trick. That wording only, don't go for that "this is basically the same thing" crap. 28 year hardware store employee.

Thanks for your suggestion. That is a good idea. Do you think staples, or tape would work to secure the sides?

You can by using gorilla glue or crazy glue. I had the same issue and that worked just fine. Haven't had a problem since.
